Diagnosis
Hi my name is Lynn and I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2016.
I have had two arthroscopic surgeries on both hips and need a double replacement in the next 18 months. I also have it in my spine, hands and wrists and my shoulders.
I am only 43 so any help to manage symptoms would be great.

Hi @Lynn23 Lynn lovely to meet you and Welcome you to the Online community.
I see you are facing a double hip replacement in the fairly near future. There have been members here who had this done, but I can't remember anyone recently. @weejean had hers done some years ago and might still be active on the forum she may see this fingers crossed.
I am attaching a couple of links to help you in the meantime while you are waiting:
Do please have a look around the forum and join in wherever you feel comfortable. There are a few threads about (single) hip replacements which are still quite active.
Best wishes
Ellen.
